I can’t claim to be any expert, but I get a lot done myself.

PSK125 has a good answer, then add the single pad lowering for the rest of the job.

  1. Use front pads to raise bottom of front of keel, paint there,
  2. Spend some time painting the rest of the hull while bottom front dries,
  3. Lower when you figure the keel is dry enough,
  4. Use rear pads to raise back edge of keel, paint there,
  5. Spend some time painting the rest of the hull while it dries,
  6. Lower only one pad a few inches to paint under that missed spot, repeat for all pads
